Embrace the Philosophy and Legacy of BJJ and Become a Master of the Gentle Art today!
A gentle art, with power untold,
A discipline, almost a century old.
From the Gracie family, it came,
Its fame, at the first UFC, proclaimed.
A style that requires a master's touch,
With techniques, that are simply too much.
For opponents, who think they're tough,
But, find themselves, in a grappling rough.
From the mount, to the guard, and beyond,
The knowledge of BJJ, is simply beyond.
Its beauty, in its efficiency and grace,
A martial art, that's hard to replace.
And, when you're caught, in its tight embrace,
You'll know, that you're in a grappling space.
Where, leverage and pressure, rule the day,
And, submissions, are just a technique away.
The Gracie family, its legacy proud,
From Carlos, to Helio, and beyond the shroud.
And, now, with Royce, Renzo and the rest,
BJJ, its dominance, has put to the test.
So, here's a tribute, to this gentle art,
With techniques, that'll leave opponents with a broken heart.
And, to the Gracie family, its founders true,
For showing us, the power and beauty of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
We hope you have been inspired by this tribute to the art of BJJ, written by Master Aaron Turnbull. Through its powerful words, you can feel the excitement, discipline, and potential that BJJ holds. Join us for a free trial class at Mantis MMA today and discover the 'Art of Submission' for yourself.
A Legacy of Strength and Skill
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling martial art that has its roots in Judo and has become one of the most popular and effective forms of self-defense. With its focus on leverage and submissions, BJJ is a sport that emphasizes technique over brute strength. And, with its emphasis on ground fighting, BJJ provides a unique and challenging workout that will test your body and mind.
The Ultimate Workout Experience
BJJ is more than just a martial art; it's also an incredible workout that will challenge your entire body. From your arms and shoulders to your legs and core, every muscle will be engaged and pushed to its limit. With each session, you'll build lean, toned muscles and improve your overall fitness.
Defend Yourself with Confidence
BJJ is more than just a sport; it's also a form of self-defense. The techniques you learn in training can be applied in real-life situations, giving you the confidence to stand up for yourself and protect those you love. And, with each successful roll, your self-esteem and confidence will soar.

Yes, we absolutely offer classes for children! At Mantis MMA, we believe that martial arts training can be incredibly beneficial for kids, helping them develop valuable skills and positive habits that can serve them well for the rest of their lives. Our kids classes are designed to be fun and engaging, with a strong focus on building confidence, self-discipline, and respect for others.
We offer classes for a range of age groups, starting with our Mini Mantis classes for children aged 4-6, then progressing to Young Mantis for 7-9 year olds, Junior Mantis for 10-14 year olds, and finally Senior Mantis for ages 15 and up.
Our experienced instructors understand how to make martial arts training fun and accessible for kids, while still challenging them to grow and develop their skills. Whether your child is a complete beginner or already has some experience with martial arts, we have a program that will meet their needs and help them take their skills to the next level.

At Mantis MMA, we understand that people have busy schedules and limited time to spare. Our kids classes typically run for 45 minutes, while our adult classes run for 60 minutes. Over the years, we have experimented with different class lengths and found that this amount of time works best for our students to achieve maximum results. We believe that a well-structured and efficient 45-minute or 60-minute class can be much more effective than a longer, poorly run class.
With our highly trained instructors and a well-organized curriculum, you'll be able to learn new skills and techniques faster than you might expect. We place a high value on our students' time and strive to make the most of every minute in class. So, whether you're a beginner or have experience in martial arts, you can be sure that you're making the most of your time with us at Mantis MMA.
We recommend wearing comfortable workout clothes that you might wear to a typical gym or sports training session. As we train without shoes, we suggest wearing slip-on shoes like thongs for ease of movement. Please bring a water bottle and a towel to stay hydrated and comfortable during class.
Our training sessions are designed to help you push yourself, so it's important to wear clothing that allows you to move freely and comfortably.
We only require a 30-day minimum commitment at Mantis MMA. However, we highly recommend that students commit to training for at least 12 months in order to see a significant return on their investment.
Not only will you see significant improvement in your physical fitness and ability to defend yourself, but you'll also experience the mental and emotional benefits that come with consistent training.
At Mantis MMA, we welcome people of all fitness levels to our classes. You don't need to be in good shape before starting martial arts with us. Our instructors are trained to provide modifications and variations for all skill levels, so you can progress at your own pace.
Our classes are designed to challenge you both physically and mentally, but they are also designed to help you build your strength, endurance, and flexibility over time. As you train with us, you will see improvements in your overall health, mental clarity, and sense of accomplishment.
So, don't worry if you're not in the best shape of your life right now. Martial arts is a journey, and we're here to help you start and continue on that journey at your own pace. All we ask is that you come with an open mind and a willingness to learn, and we'll take care of the rest.
We understand that sparring can be intimidating for some people, and we will never force anyone to do something they're not comfortable with. That being said, we do highly recommend that students try sparring to get a sense of reality and to help them deal with the fight or flight adrenaline rush that comes with it.
At Mantis MMA, we have a progressive sparring program that starts with a safe and fun introduction to sparring called Defenda Tag. Defenda Tag is a tag-based sparring system that could be thought of as Oztag for martial arts. We then progress students through defensive drills and systematically modified sparring drills to help them build their skills in a safe and controlled environment.
We have a "keep it playful" policy, which means that we don't tolerate any tough guy attitudes or aggressive behavior in our gym. By keeping sparring playful, we find that our students enjoy it more and learn faster as they are more relaxed and open to experimentation.
